Folks, let's not argue about this.
We're not trying to push anyone to buy the book. Matthias was just
responding to what many probably saw as a strange assertion, in effect
that, when you could read the book on-line, why bother owning a paper
copy at all?
As someone who finds some documents much better read on a computer --
and therefore refuses to print them -- and others much better read on
paper -- and therefore refuses to read them on-line -- it's easy to
see there's a case to be made both ways. I suspect most people on
this list feel the same way, but for different classifications of
documents.
Be that as it may, if on-line works best for you, feel free to read
away in that medium. No need to apologize for not buying the book.
But it seems pointless to question those who prefer paper, no?
